Sioux City Public Library received a $40,000 grant to reinvigorate its collections during the next year. The funding is from the Gilchrist Foundation, which furthers the philanthropy of the late Jocelyn Gilchrist and her family.

"We'll be able to add new titles in the areas of health, nature, wildlife, the environment, art and music,” said Sara Doyle, Research and Reader Services Manager at the Sioux City Public Library. "It’s a welcomed boost given our recent budget cuts. Besides adult and children’s books we will add music, DVDs, magazines and electronic resources.”
